I Can’t Believe There’s No Milk – Chocolate Pudding
Once in a while I’ll post a recipe by a FoodNetwork star or other celebrity chef that is just really tasty AND unique. This past weekend, we were looking for a creamy, chocolatey, but still moderately healthy dessert. We found just that in Rachael Ray’s Chocolate Silken Tofu Pudding. It’s creamy, full of flavor, and [...]
Smokey Chipotle Turkey Burgers
Anil usually makes fantastic Indian style masala burgers, but last week, it was time to toss something different on the grill. Bring on the chipotle! For those of you who have never had chipotle peppers, they are essentially smoked jalapeños. You can find them canned with Adobo sauce in the grocery store. We added the [...]
Curried Quinoa Bowl
If you’ve never tried quinoa before, you’re missing out on a great rice / grain substitute which happens to be an excellent source of protein and dietary fiber. Quinoa is a grain often found and eaten in South America. The cooking process is similar to rice, which makes it easy to prepare. I often whip [...]
Tangy Cole & Radish Slaw
I’ve been making this slaw throughout summer and although it goes great with burgers and grilled foods, it makes a very robust and refreshing side to accompany almost any dish. Anil’s not a very big fan of cole slaw and I think that he even liked eating this. Even though summer is almost over, I’ll [...]
Tomato-Basil-Mozzarella Skewers
I love killing two birds with one stone. And no, this dish actually isn’t about two chickens that I killed for supper. Last month, when preparing for Anil’s birthday celebration, I decided to lay out some heavy snacks while waiting for the pizza, which was dinner for Anil’s party. I needed something to “pretty up” [...]
Rustic Bruschetta
If you’re looking for an easy snack or light meal, rustic bruschetta is great because there’s no measuring required to make this traditional appetizer taste good! Here’s what I like to whip as a light dinner or lunch when I’m too tired to cook: Take a loaf of French or Italian bread and cut it [...]
Indian Style Spinach & Quorn
You may have seen Quorn mentioned in the health nut food fave entry for May. Quorn is an excellent soy-free meat substitute that I recently started using to add some protein to our vegetarian dishes. For this recipe, adjust the spinach or the number of Quorn naked chik’n cutlets according to the ratio of veggies [...]
Olive Oil & Herbes de Provence Pita Pizza
I love pita pizzas! Pocket-less pita bread makes a perfect pizza crust and allows you to create personal pizza with just about any topping you like. I recently experimented with a light olive oil base to create a nice and light pizza to go along with a wonderful glass of French wine. Here’s what I [...]
Fresh Strawberry Margarita
Summer is right around the corner…and you know what that means: margaritas by the pool! Although I love margaritas, I’m not a big fan of pre-made mixes since they tend to be high in sugar or high fructose corn syrup and add a ton of calories to your drink. Because of this, I decided to [...]
Spicy Singapore Noodles
Singapore noodles are traditionally made with shrimp, eggs and chicken in it. I decided to make mine vegetarian by adding some fried tofu instead. If you decide to go the traditional route, you simply need to saute some strips of boneless, skinless chicken breast and shell-less, deveined shrimp, keeping in mind that the shrimp will [...]
